Is the US touch back fully magnetized?

I saw a review of the GSM one and the back was magnetized, why would they do this? Would it be an issue that I keep my credit card in my pocket?

There's a reallllly weak magnet in the stylus.

If anyone doesn't believe this just try stickin it to something.

Heh it fell off my desk and got stuck to the metal pole... I was looking on the floor and didn't notice it for a few seconds....

To answer the OP's question, no, only the stylus is magnetized.

yeah i have had problems with the magnet. I was using the case that came with my mogul (non velcro, mangetic) and it was auto answering calls and making the screen come on when it was in my pocket. Oh well back to velcro!!!!

Only the stylus is magnetized. I tried sticking a refridgerator magnet on the back, no luck sticking.
